For the second year, Google’s hardware section is easily doing not one but two compact-sized flagship phones. You have found Google Pixel 10 as a “Entry-Level” flagship for the Pixel 10 Series, while Google Pixel 10 Pro Vanilla makes with a better camera on the model and comes with large memory configurations.
Of course, there are other, less obvious differences, as you will see, and for the Pro version we should try to answer whether the premium of € 200/$ 200 is worth it.

For beginners, you can compare the full specs sheets or continue directly with the assessment of our editor In the following text.
Size comparison
There is no practical size difference between the vanilla pixel 10 and the Pro model. Both weighs the same and have the same parameters nearby.
![]()
There is no difference in build quality. The IP is 68-rated against both water and dust, and the gorilla glass developed in the front and back shows 2 protection, which is kept together by the aluminum frame.
Comparison
The Google Pixel 10 and 10 Pro features very similar, but the Pro is just one better. It has a high resolution and is technically a little bright in Auto toe mode. The difference in our size is negligible (2,361 vs.
Either way, both displays are more than bright enough to provide excellent outdoor legacy.
B Battery Terry Life
The battery life of both devices is the same. Active use scores are only a few minutes away, with pro and Call Lt in the Call Lt. The difference is still very trivial. Unfortunately, neither the phone’s battery life is great.
Preaching
Charging speed is also unclear in real life. Approximately the same battery capacity in both devices (4,870 vs. We are looking well the past An hour Time charge from flat to full.
Chair
As evidenced by the loudness score and frequency response curve, the Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro shares the same hybrid stereo speakers. They are a sensible upgrade on the last Pixel Pay Generation.
Operation
Both phones share the same in-house tensor G5 chipset, which gives a little better performance and is considered better than ever. The new SOC offers significantly more CPU horsepower and more powerful NPUs for AI functions.
Memory configurations are where two devices begin to separate. When both models are shipped with a default 128GB of internal storage, the pro-props provide 16GB of RAM, against 12GB of memory, opposite 12GB of memory. In addition, Pro 512 and 1 TB flavors, while pixel 10 caps at 256 GB.
Benchmar
It is not surprising that Pixel 10 and 10 Pro show similar performance in our benchmark tests. The little difference you will see is well in the numerical error range.
Camera comparison
The biggest difference between the Pixel 10 and the Pixel 10 Pro is the camera hardware. Naturally, Pro gets better sensors. The main 50MP camera has a significant larger sensor compared to 48MP units on non-props, and the Pro’s 48 MP telephoto unit outlasses 10.8MP shooter on Pixel 10 appropriate. The same goes for ultravides (48MP and 13MP). The more expensive MODel Dell, 42MP selfie, in theory, should provide a nice image quality compared to the 10.5MP selfie camera of the Pixel 10.
Outside the quality of the image, another difference between the two pixels is that only Pixel 10 Pro provides a pro shooting mode that allows you to tinker with camera settings like ISO, exposure, shutter speed, etc.
There is also a small feature inequality in video recording. For example, the Pixel 10 Pro is announced to support 8K video recording (includes cloud-based upscaling after the video is shot). Pixel 10 Pro also has video boost and night sight video modes.
The quality of the image
Surprisingly, in good light, there is not much difference in ultravide stability. Both phones are comparatively quality output pictures, but 10 Pro receives bonus points for low geometric deformity caused by its closest focused distance and ultravide lens (though they may not be clear in each shot).
When it comes to the main camera, Pixel 10 Pro usually produces nice looking photos. While the overall presentation, colors and dynamic range are very similar in terms of contradiction, 10 Pro comes out as a winner with better sharpness and definition of distant objects. When shooting indoors, the difference in more challenging lighting conditions becomes more clear.

2x crop zoom photos are better on Pixel 10 Pro. 10 Pro also takes a more convincing lead in the 5x telephoto race. Stable, more detailed, sharp and cleaner from the Pro model.
On the other hand, the presentation of the foliage of the Pixel 10 manages to come by somehow looks more natural.

In low-light views, the ultravide shots of the Pixel 10 Pro are cleaner and intense than the pixel 10.
The main one of the 10 pro is the upper hand with many similar benefits in the Camera Mera. Both of these cameras have a pixel 10 sensors than 10.

2x shot at night, however, looks quite the same between the two phones.
Pixel 10 Pro’s Telefoto AM with its larger sensor once again receives cleaner and more detailed photos, and has a more accurate balance.

When it comes to selfies, we could not really find any difference in quality even when zoom in. But it’s not the whole picture. Pixel 10 Pro’s selfie uses 18mm central length, giving you a wider field compared to the 21 mm of Pixel 10. The fact that the Pro still keeps the same sharpness and detail with this widespread perspective is really very impressive.

Video quality
Generally, the Pixel 10 Pro takes better -looking videos during the day, even if it is in the camera. It is most noticeable in ultravide and main camera videos (even at 2X), where the projects slightly intense and more detailed footage with a wide dynamic range.
Below we have a few framagrabs taken by two phones taken by two phones at each central length, so it’s easier to compare them to each other.
4K Video Screens: Pixel 10 (0.6x) • Pixel 10 Pro (0.6x) • (1x) • (2x) • (5x)
At night, Pro’s videos are usually cleaner and solve in more detail. Color presentation and contrasts are more preferred on non-foot footage. The shadows are also a bit bright, which affects the contrast to a slight extent.

Judgment
At the end of the day, the Pixel 10 and 10 Pro offers a large amount of same user experience. Many users will not say the difference between the two, and Google is targeting them with Pixel 10. It is the right choice for users who receive pure pixel experience without breaking the bank.
On the other hand, Pixel 10 Pro, will appeal to people who take photos or videos more often. The benefit of Camera Mera is not as big as we expect, but it is still a better choice in this regard, and has some additional features.
In addition, 10 Pro default comes with more RAM (16GB), so it is better future-proof. You also get large storage options at 10 Pro (512GB or 1 TB), which are not available for Pixel 10, and can be a potentially crucial factor. And finally, the 10 Pro comes with a bright and high-beginning screen.
But is it worth an additional $ 200/€ 200 for Pixel 10 Pro? Well, it’s up to you. You are paying a premium premium for a slightly better camera and high-iS screen. Some will say it’s worth it, others will settle for less paying for Pixel 10 and still enjoy the same user experience.
